Impact play is generally considered a sub-category of BDSM. It is an umbrella term for all forms of hitting during sex, and can include slapping, spanking, punching, or being struck with paddles, whips, and floggers.
How can I explore impact play?
Consent is key - begin with asking your partner how they would feel about some kind of hitting in the bedroom. Discuss what you’re both comfortable with, your boundaries, and how best to begin exploring this kink.
You might start with some light hitting using just hands to check you like impact play before investing in any toys.
This could include spanking, slapping, and hitting the glutes, breasts, face, thighs, or any other area that interests you.
If you find this enjoyable, you might invest in floggers, paddles, canes, crops and similar toys to heighten your sensations and elevate your play.
How to Stay Safe in Your Play
While impact play can be immensely pleasurable, it also carries inherent risks, particularly when it comes to physical safety. To minimize the risk of injury, you should familiarize yourself with your tools and how to properly use them. Additionally, it’s essential to be mindful of sensitive areas of the body, such as the kidneys, joints, and nerve-rich regions, when exploring any level of impact play.
Remember: good sex is safe sex.
And safe sex is essential.
